Wrong Turn 2: Dead End
Wrong Turn 2: Dead End is the long coming sequel to Rob Schmidt’s “people trapped in the woods and getting eaten by mutants” horror. Joe Lynch’s directorial debut Wrong Turn 2 had every opportunity to be something appalling and I’m pleased to say it was everything I wanted. A good start to this man’s career.
Wrong Turn 2 is by no means ground-breaking. Don’t expect some brand-new polished horror concept that no director has ever thought of before. Fraid not. It follows that tried and tested and tried some more, concept of mutant in-breds in woods eating unfortunate passers by. Deep down we all secretly love it!.. Read more
Hostel 2
I swallowed my pride. I gave Eli Roth a second chance. I even took the initiative to embrace this genre of filming. And at the end of it all I came out of this film with an appreciation for the Hostel series. I am not a fan of this genre due to most of these types of films relying on shock value to entertain the viewer.
The “Saw” movies after the first were a letdown to me, as well as “Touristas” being as dry and unoriginal as a remake of “The Hitcher”. My major issues with the first in the “Hostel” series were that I had no feelings towards any of the characters, the plot line moved way to slow, and the scenery was just not up to par with Eli’s previous film “Cabin Fever”. With all that going wrong I almost wrote off the sequel altogether. Lucky for me I did not. Read more
Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer
Mr Fantastic, The Invisable Woman, The Thing, The Human Torch,
That well known team, only sidelined by Mr T and the rest of the A-Team.
They have had their own film before. And boy was it average. Although this time, they are given the helping silver hand of the silver surfer. Marvel’s coolest character ever? Possibly.
As with my earlier review of Spiderman, it goes without saying that the special effects in this are breath-taking. I am positive any film from now on with a marvel name can expect this kind of treatment. So go get yourself a high def TV, a blu-ray player and a copy of this. Who cares if its worth the money, it will physically rattle your senses… Read more
Spiderman 3
Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can, or does he?
With this week comes the release of that Hollywood favourite Spiderman 3! This year’s huge blockbuster that knocked everything for six this summer, but was all the hype worth it? (And should you invest in a black Spiderman costume for Halloween?)
Well one thing’s for sure, you can fling on your spidey jammy’s once more kiddies, Spidey is back and he doesn’t suck (he bites)
So how much better is this movie than the last? Considerably. Spiderman 2 was quite simply the original film with a different bad guy. An octopus instead of a goblin. Spiderman 3 however actually begins to introduce new storylines, yes you will still see him hanging off that US flag for hours on end (oh the patriot!) but this film really brings new directions to the movie franchise… Read more
Shooter
Mark Wahlberg stars in this edge of your seat action thriller. A marksman (Wahlberg) living in exile is talked back into the military after learning of a plot to kill the president. Ultimately double-crossed and framed for the attempt, he goes on the run to track the real killer and find out who exactly set him up, and why.
Wahlberg did an excellent job in this none stop roller coaster action movie and is truly beginning to shine. I really love movies that portray a government as an evil entity as most of the time, this is completely true. As the story unravels, we’re introduced to the bad guys who we love to hate, but doesn’t Danny Glover look really old? Read more
Blood Diamond
Leonardo DiCaprio truly became Danny Archer in this jaw dropping, I can’t believe that just happened film. His character is incredibly versatile. He spoke in several different accents and dialects as he went from one situation to the next and made each shine true. After a few minutes I can honestly say I forgot he was the star that he is and saw him as the character he played, an African man. I have to give him a 10/10 on this one and I am not his biggest fan by any means. Read more
